Darling, won’t you stay for awhile?
Your solemn posture drives me insane
So please, just fall into me for a moment
Endlessly I’ll listen as you explain
All your fears that menacingly taunt you
The dread that weighs your ankles down
The tears that burn the beauty away
From the face now displaying a frown.

Close your eyes and feel the warmth
Of my hands, of my secure embrace
Relieve your world of hatred
And accept my arms as your peaceful place.
I promise if you stay you’ll feel no regret
And you’ll learn once again how to smile
I’ll love you forever, as long as you stay,
Darling, stay with me for awhile
